What does it say about the quality of posts on this site, if the top post is a piece of obfuscated code? And, peeking at the 'best nodes ever' list, it's not the only piece of obfuscated code that is considered top material.

So much for the "use strict" and "use warnings" school...

    And what does it say about Abigail when she's known as one of the greatest masters of the JAPH?

    Maybe what the best nodes ever list says is completely orthogonal to "use strict and warnings".

    Maybe we should have 'best nodes' lists that allow us to display/exclude nodes from threads in certain areas. For example, I'm not an obfu writer, so I don't really care about best nodes in obfu. I do read Meditations, so I'd like to see Best Nodes limitable by that area. Maybe, as an option on the config section?

    As a nearly unrelated sidenote, it would be neat to have a grid in the config section where you choose which areas you want displayed. The rows would be the areas (Gates, Seekers, Meditations, Discussion, etc.) and the columns would be "Newest Nodes", "Best Nodes", "Mediation", etc. So, I could choose to have discussion on my newest nodes, but not in my best nodes.

    Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.

      I like the idea, as suggested by dragonchild, of a grid in the config section to allow a monk to choose which 'best nodes' to appear on his page. However I would like to see the idea extended to a separate node or web page with links to all those 'best nodes'. That way all such nodes could be accessed in one place at need.

    Actually, Erudil's camel code uses strict and has warnings (-w). Being that thorough in an obfu definitely got my ++ :).
